The first qualifying draws of the 2017 season were announced today, with three tournaments starting on Saturday.
Very few withdrawals happened in Brisbane, Doha and Chennai, so all the qualifying draws show a pretty solid level.
The Brisbane International, which has the highest cut-off, opens the Australian season, as it will be followed by Sydney and by the Australian Open.
